I don't think people really notice though. At times I'm guilty of not paying attention to it,

What the Guy shouting I need some 🤬 ammo multiple times isn't clear enough LOL. Aswell as the flashing icons on the minimap.

While there is ton of people shooting and shouting and explosions inthe background? No not clear enough.
 
It would be better if something like "xxx needs ammo" pops up on the screen or the blue triangle above their head starts flashing purple or something.
 
While the PP-19 has little recoil, the weapon is firing nothing more than BBs. I can put a ton of rounds on target with the PP-19, but the damage is just awful. Fifty kills with each class is going to be painful. I am also not looking forward to another 100 kills with another bolt action rifle.
 
TDM is probably the best route and I did not think of that. :lol: I tend to play mostly Conquest, with some Rush thrown in every now and then.

I am still having the problem in obtaining that gun. The assignment is stuck at one and a half hours.

CQ and Rush are my favorite modes too. I play TDM to unlock attachments for new guns since you can easily get a lot of kills in no time at all.

When I'm playing with that kit I try to throw down ammo at corners, choke points, and other places of cover where I think they'll be useful to other team members. Especially if people are in those spots and there isn't already a box down. It's easy points and the same goes for med kits. I try not to wait for people calling for them.

I do the same (when im support, which is not that often).

If I see someone shooting, i'll throw some ammo at them and go like "Here you go, now shoot something!" :lol:

I really liked the PP-19 myself but found the P90 was just that little bit better suited to my play style. You do have to be really close up, though, so Canals TDM is probably how I'll do it, on the right server you could have that assignment done in four to five rounds.

I have a good/bad habit of instantly dropping med/ammo boxes as soon as i spawn in.

:lol: same here.

At the moment i'm really liking the PP2000, its got a slower fire rate than than most of the PDW's but the damage at range and up close is pretty good. Recoil is really controllable too, it's either that or the ACR when i'm an engineer.

The pp-19 is OK but I don't know why its penalized so much against the P90. Both have very little recoil, similar high capacity mags and same fire rate. Just DICE for some reason gave it 4 less damage points. Hows that fair DICE LOL.

The PP-19 would not be a bad gun had DICE given it 9x19mm rounds instead of 9x18mm Makarov rounds. The extra damage the 9x19mm would make up for the weapons short comings. All other PDWs perform better than the PP-19 because of the crappy damage model the PP-19 has.

It does have the largest magazine though. I just liked it because of the huge amount of bullets you could chuck at a guy with decent accuracy... They could also have given it 7.62x25 Tokarev rounds and a 45 round magazine, though I have no idea what the ballistics of that would be like. Weird that the 9x18mm does less damage than the 5.7mm P90 round seeing as that's all about penetration.

PP-19 has 55 rounds pr mag. 💡

This is correct.

I just finished the PP-19 Recon portion. The weapon is awful. The PP-19 is terrible in close quarters and at any thing over a stone's throw away. While the recoil is not too bad, the less than stellar damage does not make up for the recoil. If anything, the weapon should have even less recoil or spread. At least then, it would be easier to be more accurate and would somewhat make up for the weapon's damage shortcoming.

The P90 laughs at any comparison to the PP-19, as it is superior in every way, less the extra five bullets a PP-19 magazine holds.

The tokarev variant is a semi auto version if I remember correctly. So it wouldn't be very practical. Also the only PDW that uses 9MM rounds (the M5K) deals 25 damage up close. So that along with the fact that makarov variant is the most popular wouldn't be right for that either. The fact they chose the makarov variant is right. Just no reason for it to deal such little damage.

On another note all new assignments are done. Green ACWR looks good.
 
Played some conquest on the PS3, First played Conquest on caspian border, and rules clearly stated no Stingers, yet the opposite team were using them. Literally a squad of engineers waiting at Charlie. I didn't mind too much, until i saw it was one of the admins, why enforce rules when you can't abide by the, yourself. Next game we played was Operation Metro where he switched all the Colonels to his team, when eventually we only had 5-6 players.

Some of the Admins you get are just 🤬. That's why most of the time i either join a friends server or Dice servers.

The PP2000 also use 9mm rounds too, I think?
